Army of the Bey of Benghazi

The Army of the Bey of Benghazi was a military unit of the Ottoman Empire, based in the city of Benghazi in Ottoman North Africa (present-day Libya). In June 1836, it was merged with the Army of the Bashaw of Tripoli.

History
The Bey of Benghazi's army consisted of 6,000 troops on 1 January 1836, made up of Askaris (irregular local soldiers), and its first war was the Ottoman Restoration of Tripoli from 1 January 1836 to 6 November 1837. They joined forces with the Army of the Bashaw of Tripoli by June 1836, when they fought in the Battle of Tripoli against the army of Tripolitania Vilayet. The two armies were later stationed together on the border of Egypt from 1837 to 1842 during the Ottoman Liberation of Egyptian Ankara.
